JRJW law and publishing

This is the blog of James Wilson. I am a freelance legal knowledge manager, author, editor, publisher and PR adviser. It contains details on the books and articles I have written as well as a general blog which I update from time to time as commitments allow.

I have over 15 years experience in legal knowledge management and publishing, prior to which I worked as a solicitor in commercial litigation. If you wish to contact me, please do so via my LinkedIn profile.

Court and Bowled

My latest book, Court and Bowled: tales of cricket and the law, is available from the publishers here or from Amazon here.

The book looks at a number of stories where cricket or cricketers gave rise to a legal dispute. It begins with a short history of cricket as it appears in the early law reports, including the case from 1598 which contains the very first known use of the word cricket . It then turns to individual cases from Victorian times to the present day. It is aimed not just at lawyers but anyone interested in cricket and stories from on and off the pitch.

Cases, Causes and Controversies

Cases, Causes and Controversies: Fifty Tales from the Law - a book of mine published by Wildy, Simmonds & Hill.

The book looks at fifty interesting cases, legislative measures or general legal problems from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. It is intended as an interesting general read rather than a dry legal tract.
